SALEKHARD, November 23 Medical expenses in the budget of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YNAO) will be increased by 10% next year, the press service of the YNAO government reported.
“In the Yamal budget, medical expenses will increase by 10%. Despite the fact that over the last five years the district has already significantly updated the material and technical base in hospitals, next year they will purchase even more than three thousand units of medical equipment. These are ultrasounds, x-rays and other devices for diagnostics, prevention and rehabilitation, including fighters returning from the Northern Military District zone,” the message says.
Now a clear routing scheme is being built in the region. In small village hospitals, diagnostics and prevention are being strengthened so that the disease can be prevented or suspected in the early stages. For this purpose, small medical institutions are equipped with the latest technology, the report says.
“Next year, medicine in Yamal will continue to develop. In order for northerners to receive quality care at their place of residence, we will continue to equip our hospitals — we will purchase about 3.5 thousand pieces of equipment and vehicles. New types of medical care and diagnostics will appear,” it is stated in the message are the words of the director of the district health department Sergei Novikov.
Treatment requiring hospitalization will be carried out in district and city hospitals, where a staff of strong doctors has been formed and all the necessary conditions have been created for fast and high-quality care. Narrow-profile areas will also continue to be developed. Next year, a radiotherapy building will be opened in the region for the first time. 350 patients will be able to receive radiation therapy without leaving the region, which is especially important for the Far North.
«The region has one of the highest average wages in the country, for doctors this figure is multiplied by two. Plus — full northern ones from the first day of work, the accumulative principle for public sector employees was abolished three years ago by the regional governor Dmitry Artyukhov, and this was “a politically correct decision that ensures a stable influx of qualified personnel into the region,” the press service quotes political scientist, director of the Regional Policy Foundation Evgeniy Zabrodin.
